Pandora Discovered

I first saw this short 'documentary' about Pandora, the planet from the film Avatar, on David Mitchell's class blog. David is a successful headteacher and education consultant.

  • Write a non-chronological report about Pandora or one of the creatures who live there.
  • Write an explanation or set of instructions – 'How to Care For...' one of the creatures from the clip.
  • Write a narrative set on the planet.
  • Write a diary entry for an astronaut landing on the planet, describing the journey, landing, meeting the inhabitants etc.
  • Design a space vehicle for landing on the planet – what special tools would it need?
